Of course! I’d been waiting for an opportunity to pick up another one as well. Just outstanding figures. I just happened to see Toyshiz post the link on IG so I jumped all over that.mrboshek wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 10:02 pmThanks for the heads up on the BAT, I picked up another one.

Re: Storm Collectibles Street Fighter
BBTS has Hot Ryu back up for preorder at $50. I wish they had some more figures available again at $50. I already have this Ryu, but I wouldn't mind a pink Chun-Li for a similar price.

nvm - just educated myself. In the asian release of the game this character was named M. Bison but they changed it for american release due to concerns they might get sued by Mike Tyson. Weird for me though - since I didn't know that history. To me M. Bison is the giant dude in the red military uniform. (That guy's name is apparently Vega in Japan, and the guy I know as Vega is apparently Balrog.. so learn something new every day)
Re: Storm Collectibles Street Fighter
I have to be missing something. Is there a reason it says "M. Bison" on the box? Shouldn't this character's name be printed somewhere on the front?Shinigami_PL wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 10:39 amAnd I got my Boxer, took it exactly 7 days to reach me.

Re: Storm Collectibles Street Fighter
Yeah, he's great but at the same time it's such a barebones release - just the 4 heads and not that big of a dust cloud, plus the bare torso that I'm not gonna use. Last one like this was Doomsday for me, but at least this time I like the figure itself so I'll be satisfied. Heck, I even like the default head the most. But it's hard to give Balrog anything besides that, I guess.
Oh, the butterfly disks are made out of softer plastic this time, not sure when that started, it's the first figure I've noticed it on.

Re: Storm Collectibles Street Fighter
Because of the name thing, professional gamers call them by their description. Dictator, Boxer, and Claw so they can communicate with Japanese players and avoid any confusion. There's some additional inside baseball for ya.PantherCult wrote: ↑Mon Apr 03, 2023 5:05 pmI have to be missing something. Is there a reason it says "M. Bison" on the box?

Re: Storm Collectibles Street Fighter
Friday would be the perfect day to drop a new preorder, like a SF6 Luke or just any character from any SF game.
